Ruthie Davis: Stiletto Extraordinaire

The New York-based designer, Ruthie Davis, who honed her skills at top design jobs with Reebok, Ugg and Tommy Hilfiger, launched her namesake collection in 2006 and has since been building a following with her sky-high stilettos distinguished by pops of neon and unique hardware embellishments. Davis also made big changes to her collection for fall ’09 by segmenting it into two labels, Davis by Ruthie Davis and Ruthie Davis. Davis, priced between $698 and $798, is built around a two-for-one combo package consisting of a pump and a take down flat in the same colorway. The Ruthie Davis collection, meanwhile, will continue to feature a broader offering of heels. Celebrities including Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Beyonce Knowles, and Kim Kardashian are fans of the stilettos. Ruthiedavis.com
